TODAY'S LAUNCH OF ATLANTIS POSTPONED
------------------------------------

Engineers at the Kennedy Space Center are troubleshooting a problem with
fuel cell No. 1 aboard the shuttle Atlantis. Officials have decided to
scrub today's launch attempt. Another launch try could come Thursday, if
the problem can be resolved in time.
